How many times a week do you wake up dreading the workday ahead?
You are hardly alone. The vast majority of employees are disengaged from their jobs, their coworkers and their bosses. In fact, rarely a day passes without a call, a note, or a media headline regarding the fallout of low workplace trust. It destroys:
- Employee engagement & retention
- Innovation
- Productivity
- Speed of decisions
- Profitability
Most problems, even this one, are not too big to fix and collaboration is a powerful tool. In our brand new book, Trust Inc., 52 Weeks of Activities and Inspirations for Building Workplace Trust, our Alliance members and colleagues joined forces to compile 52 weeks (a full year) of activities and inspirations that are certain to not only reverse the cycle of mistrust in your workplace, but enable trust to flourish. What a great way to improve your life and that of your co-workers!
Whether it is leadership, teamwork, culture, crisis or inter-organizational trust, the activities and inspirations in our new book are designed to help you. There are activities to enhance trust through:
- Listening
- Vulnerability
- Self-awareness
- Alignment
- Experimentation
- Shared motivation
- Identification of destructive behaviors
- Self accountability
- Role playing
- Transparency
and many others.
Why not give the gift of trust to your co-workers and friends this holiday season? Perhaps by this time next year, we can be discussing how much trust has improved in our respective workplaces.
